Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 302,
303(c), 303(f), 303(g) and 303(r), and
309(a).
Total Annual Burden: 5,360 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N.A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a minimal exemption from the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and 47 CFR 0.459(d) of
the Commission’s rules that is granted
for trade secrets, which may be
submitted to the Commission as part of
the documentation of the test results. No
other assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
after this 60 day comment period to
obtain the full three year clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
Description of Measurement Facilities
The Commission established uniform
technical standards for various nonlicensed equipment operating under the
guidelines established in 47 CFR parts
2, 15 and 18 of the FCC rules, which
include personal computers, garage door
openers, baby monitors, etc. In order to
ensure that technical standards are
applied uniformly to non-licensed
equipment, the Commission requires
manufacturers to follow the
standardized measurement procedures
and practices:
(a) 47 CFR part 2 of the Commission’s
rules requires each Electro-Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) testing facility that
performs equipment testing in support
of any request for equipment
authorization to file a test site
description with the Commission. The
Commission also permits a testing
facility to be accredited by Commissionapproved accrediting bodies. A testing
laboratory that is accredited by a
Commission-approved accrediting body
is not required to file a test site
description with the Commission since
the accreditation body will review this
information as part of the accreditation
assessment.
(b) The test site description and the
supporting information documents that
the EMC testing facility complies with
the testing standards used to make the
measurements that support any request
for equipment authorization.
The Commission or a
Telecommunications certification body
uses the information from these test
sites and the supporting documentation,
which accompany all requests for
equipment authorization:

(a) To ensure that the data are valid
and that proper testing procedures are
used;
(b) To ensure that potential
interference to radio communications is
controlled; and
(c) To investigate complaints of
harmful interference or to verify the
manufacturer’s compliance with Section
47 CFR 2.948 of the Commission’s rules.
Accreditation Bodies
On September 14, 2009, the Office of
Engineering and Technology (OET)
identified and requested comment on
certain types of information that an
applicant should provide to be
considered as an accreditation body of
test laboratories under the
Commission’s rules, see DA 09–2049. 47
CFR 2.948(d) of the Commission’s rules
sets forth the requirements for
accreditation bodies seeking recognition
from the FCC as a laboratory
accreditation body. Accreditation bodies
seeking such recognition from the
Commission must file a report of their
qualifications with the Office of
Engineering and Technology (OET).
They are only required to file this
information once. The Commission
currently has three recognized
accreditations bodies.
Other Information
In addition, the referenced 47 CFR
part 15 rules (47 CFR 15.117(g)(2))
require that certain equipment
manufacturers file information
concerning the testing of TV receivers,
which tune to UHF channels, to show
that the UHF channels provide
approximately the same degree of
tuning accuracy with approximately the
same expenditure of time and effort.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
To enable contracting officers to
verify that pass-through charges are not
excessive, the clause at FAR 52.215–22,
Limitations on Pass-Through Charges—
Identification of Subcontract Effort,
requires offerors submitting a proposal
for a contract, task order, or delivery
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
order to provide the following
information with its proposal:
(1) The percent of effort the offeror
intends to perform and the percent
expected to be performed by each
subcontractor.
(2) If the offeror intends to
subcontract more than 70 percent of the
total cost of work to be performed—
(i) The amount of the offeror’s indirect
costs and profit/fee applicable to the
work to be performed by the
subcontractor(s); and,
(ii) A description of the value added
by the offeror as related to the work to
be performed by the subcontractor(s).
(3) If any subcontractor intends to
subcontract to a lower-tier subcontractor
more than 70 percent of the total cost of
work to be performed under its
subcontract—
(i) The amount of the subcontractor’s
indirect costs and profit/fee applicable
to the work to be performed by the
lower-tier subcontractor(s); and,
(ii) A description of the value added
by the subcontractor as related to the
work to be performed by the lower-tier
subcontractor(s).
In addition, if the amount of the effort
to be subcontracted by the contractor or
a subcontractor changes from the
amount identified in the proposal such
that it exceeds 70 percent of the total
cost of work to be performed, the clause
at FAR 52.215–23, Limitations on PassThrough Charges, requires contractors to
provide a description of the value added
by the contractor or subcontractor, as
applicable, as related to the subcontract
effort.
B. Discussion and Analysis
One respondent submitted public
comments on the extension of the
previously approved information
collection. The analysis of their public
comments is summarized as follows:
Comment: The respondent
commented that the extension of the
information collection would violate the
fundamental purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act because of the burden it
puts on the entity submitting the
information and the agency collecting
the information.
Response: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA),
agencies can request OMB approval of
an existing information collection. The
PRA requires that agencies use the
Federal Register notice and comment
process, to extend OMB’s approval, at
least every three years. This extension,
to a previously approved information
collection, pertains to FAR clause
52.215–22. This clause requires offerors
submitting a proposal for a contract,
task order, or delivery order to provide
